I was a radio jockey after graduation. I was 22, the youngest RJ in Delhi at that time.
I was a singing disc jockey who heard every type of music there was - and loved it all.
I used to play - when I first started trying to be professional, I disk jockey from 1949 to 1955 in Memphis, Tennessee, and I was quite popular there as a disk jockey.
The funny thing about me that most people never really understand is that, at heart, I'm really a jock.
You don't want to wait for that aged jockey role.
I think all jocks have a sensitive side. It's just, will they show it to anybody? Will they let their guard down and stop being tough and the cool jock guy around their friends, or just relax? I don't know if it's best to say opening up, but just relax and really say what you're actually thinking, and not what you think people want to hear.
I've lived out many of the dreams I had as a little girl, back when I was riding my pony, mucking stalls, feeding cows, aspiring to finally become a professional jockey and racing in stakes races on a worldwide stage.
I hope to be remembered as a very good jockey.
A good jockey has to be physically well balanced. They have to possess a strong upper body and a strong lower body. You've gotta have quick reflexes, and you've got to be incredibly coordinated. But it's you're instincts that have to be perfect. You can't be an exceptional rider without instincts.
I just remember saying to myself, 'I want to be a super jock.' I don't want to be just some radio personality in some town somewhere doing the time and temperature and the latest song.
